so i'm trying to get "confirmed" or whatever it's called, and it's asking me for my user id, customer access number, and password. what is a customer access number?? all i use to log into my bank is a user i.d. and a password.

Are you going in the front door www.paypal.com?
I never use more than user id and password. I thought confirmed meant that you had already completed some transactions successfully.

Same here. I have never had to jump through hoops like that.Blue85 said:

Their new system can sign into your bank's web page for you -- scary, huh?
I would presume the "customer access" number is your user ID.
I'd skip that step -- they have an alternate, the thing where they deposit two random small amounts into your account and you tell them how much.

ok, guess i'll just use the other method - the one i mentioned says it's quicker, but at this point it isn't.

Yeah, I've always just gone with the two small deposits thing. Works like a charm, plus you get some money for free! Take your 37 cents and stick it to the man!

I know, it's supposed to be two random amounts, between .01 and .99. If it was so random, how come it seems to average a grand total around $0.25? Statistically, it ought to average out to $1.00. Stingy bleeping paypal.ssped said:

Scary?
I don't get it. If you use PayPal you give them access to make charges to your credit card or bank account. Who cares about the web page?
Are you trying to say they can log into your personal account, check balances, transactions and such?

Yep, somehow they use this as an instant verification that you are you and you have access to the bank account in question. Donno how it works, as they couldn't figure out my credit union, so I did the two-random-deposits thing.
Presumably they only access your account the once, but who knows, it's PayPal
